Accessories & Custom Enclosures
GE MDS provides a complete line of reliable industrial-strength and
cost-effective accessories that are tested to perform at optimal levels
and maintain product warranties. GE MDS offers both standard
and custom packages for wireless applications in harsh industrial
environments. We simplify your wireless systems design by providing
a convenient single-source ordering process. From antennas for
the iNET-II (900 MHz) to field-rated power supplies for your mission-
critical application, GE MDS can help ensure your system is robust
and future-proof.
Protected Station
Mission-critical applications demand that no single point of failure can
stop the communications system. In wireless applications the access
point serves as the central hub to all remote radios. The P21 Protected
Station increases the availability of a system by housing two radios in a
cold standby configuration. The standby radio activates automatically
whenever a fault condition is detected by the active radio.
The MDS P21 Protected Station houses two iNET-II radios inside,
and a standard iNET-II unit can be used as a spare during field
maintenance. A Protected Station can also operate with Remote
iNET-II radios, allowing for deployment of redundant point-to-point
link configurations, and providing a cost-effective replacement for
analog microwave links.

Remote & Access Point
The iNET-II radio operates in the 900 MHz frequency band under the
FCC rules for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) equipment. Every
system must have at least one access point model. You can choose
between remote models that support serial only, Ethernet only or both
types of interfaces (DG Model).
The iNET-II handles concurrent Ethernet from multiple sources. Directly
address the integrated serial device server using industry-standard
protocols (e.g., Telnet, TCP, UDP), and serve as backhaul to MDS
TransNET, SD, 4710 and 9710 radios.
Every iNET-II radio includes an SNMP agent and can be managed by
MDS NETview or any other SNMP-based management system.
An access point radio can be configured to operate as a remote, serv-
ing as a common replacement for any access point or remote locations
and simplifying maintenance tasks in the field.
